Blue smoke means oil. White/grey smoke is fuel related. But you prob have fuel smoke because cats burn off excess fuel. Since you took those out, there's nothing left to burn the excess gas off making it come out as smoke

Yes sir it is. Now for my 2nd question. is it possible that the front cat add oil left in it and just burning it off. i don't like the idea that it was burning it.
